The Experience

Two chic cottages in a majestic estate flanked by orchards and organic vegetable gardens. Take a drink – or sketchpad – to the terrace for views of Wimborne Minster, distant cricket matches and the birds over Stour Meadows; sunsets are stunning. Exposed stonework reflects the 18th-century origins of these Georgian gardeners’ cottages. Clean-lined interiors reflect 21st-century design. Spotlights gleam off brick walls washed in porcelain white, a rustic yet contemporary canvas for original oils, vintage chairs, oriental cushions. Apple has an inglenook fireplace, Plum a spacious elm table to enjoy if you take both cottages together. Sisal carpets lead to simple bedrooms where linen blinds frame meadow views. Cook and eat in modern country kitchens then step out to a private garden lined with fruit trees; each cottage has it’s own gravel patio with removable fencing allowing them to be opened up when booking Apple and Plum together. Plum comes with its own shepherd’s hut: duck egg blue walls and a French enamelled wood-burner. An easy walk from historic Wimborne, a short drive from blue flag beaches at Poole and Bournemouth, and perfect for big groups who can book both cottages and the nearby Gate House.

Reviews

Sue, Bournemouth

Booked both cottages for our sons wedding. A really beautiful setting, so tranquil and the views across the fields made us feel miles away from anywhere . We love Wimborne where you are spoilt for great coffee/ patisserie shops. Both cottages are beautiful with everything you need , really enjoyed the fresh apple juice from the orchard. Jonathan was so helpful . Would be lovely to return one day .


Judith, Bournemouth

The cottage is in the grounds of the estate and it feels as if you are in the middle of the countryside and yet it is only a few minutes walk from Wimborne town centre. It is a beautiful cottage, extremely well equipped and an amazing setting. Would highly recommend it to anybody. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the cottages are extremely well equipped and the welcome basket of goodies was lovely. We have already recommended these cottages to friends who were unable to make it but want to visit later in the year.


Ines, London

This was our first stay here. It’s a lovely and very quiet place, despite being within walking distance from Wimborne, which is lovely. The cottage itself is comfortable and has all the essentials to cook a meal. It’s also well located to explore the wider area of East Dorset, a truly hidden gem with beautiful beaches and countryside walks. We will definitely come back!


Judith, Warrington

This was our first visit to Dorset and how lucky were we to find Apple Cottage. It was super. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk into the beautiful town of Wimborne and yet within the grounds of a beautiful country house estate. The cottage was so quiet . There is a lovely large table and chairs in the garden where we enjoyed meals listening to the birds and the distant bells of the Minster. The cottage is really well presented and the beds are comfortable with quality bedding. Plenty of hot water with quality bath products provided. It was perfect. We would love to stay again.


Helen, Reading

Beautiful cottage, very well equipped with a terrific garden. Feels like you have stepped back in time, while being close to shops and amenities.

Local points of interest from Jonathan Cornish

  • Situated within the grounds of Deans Court, these C18th farm-hands’ cottages have been renovated to provide contemporary comfort in a rural setting.
  • To get the cottages you will drive past the walled-kitchen garden, where vegetables are grown for our veg baskets.
  • Visit the Deans Court Cafe, enjoy salads, soups, homemade quiches, cakes etc. Open everyday except Sunday. Also pop into our vintage shop situated in a converted squash court adjacent to the cafe.
  • An easy walk from historic Wimborne, with a great selection of restaurants and shops. (Including a Waitrose)
  • For large groups, we also have The Gate House (sleeping 16) and we can arrange for all levels of catering as suits your needs - get in touch for more info.
